The Vans Warped Tour, presented by Journeys, is well known as America''s longest running touring music festival of the summer. Since 1995, the tour has been a showcase for both established and up and coming talent, across a wide range of eclectic sub-genres.
The tour has also cemented its place in history by bringing alternative rock and skate culture from the underground to the forefront of global youth culture, while at the same time helping those in need through non-profit and eco initiatives.
Alternative Press readers voted the Vans Warped Tour as the "Best Tour/Festival" and Rolling Stone called it "America''s Most Successful Festival".
With a band from Alabama, a listener might expect to hear the trademark Southern riffs and harmonies. However, instead of traditional Southern influences, pop quintet Jule Vera takes more inspiration from their experiences and an observational analysis of the world in which they live. The band formed organically in 2010, when guitarist/keyboardist Jake Roland and bassist Will Stacey decided to start a band as high school students. It wasn''t long before the duo transitioned into a three-piece upon meeting their talented vocalist and frontwoman, Ansley Newman at a local garage band camp, thus forming Jule Vera in its current iteration in 2013.
Following successful EPs and singles, Jule Vera are now excited to release their debut full-length album, Waiting On The Sun (available for preorder now, releasing everywhere June 16). This is their first release on Weekday Records/Sony Music RAL. The group will be performing the album while headlining the Vans Warped Tour this summer, including singing hit songs, "Something Good," "Bad Company," "Show Me" and "Lifeline."
